A Texas teacher allegedly punched a 12-year-old student after the child made fun of his favorite football team.

“The last person’s voice I heard was some girl saying that I should call my mom, and then he like hit me, and I blacked out,” Reginald Wells told 12News.

According to Wells’ mother Adrianne, the teacher was fired immediately.

“(The principal) said Reginald was punched, in the shoulder, and then hit two times and uppercut, and then slid across the floor,” Adrianne said. “For you to just let a teacher do that to him and just walk off, he’s fired and walks off, I can’t accept that.”

Reginald said that he had stopped to talk with the teacher when he cracked a joke about the teacher’s favorite team. According to Reginald, the teacher hit him in the shoulder and when he pushed him back, the boy claims the teacher struck him in the face.

“The left side of my face was numb… my lip hurt… my head was hurt, like it had been shaken.”

According to 12News, Adrianne filed a police report and wants to press charges.
